Here are the tantalizing final details about HTC’s virtual reality headset. The HTC Vive will be available for pre-order starting February 29th in advance of hitting shelves in early April. It’ll cost a whopping $799 (read: $800), far more than the Oculus Rift, which starts at $600.

For $800, you’ll get the headset (duh), two wireless controllers, two wall units for tracking your position, and a hub that collects all the data and sends it to your PC. Additionally, the system will come bundled with two popular game titles: Job Simulator and Fantastic Contraption. The system has a few more components than the Oculus offering, but the extra parts make the HTC Vive more immersive, which helps to justify the higher cost.

There are also a couple of small improvements and new features in the new HTC Vive. The headset now has a microphone , and is far more comfortable than before. The two little cameras that track your motion across the room are now wireless, which is a huge, huge step forward—the previous cameras were very bulky and wired.
